19" no lip with some type of concavity. 19" wheels with a lip IMO make the wheel look smaller...

20" I'm a fan of both no lip and lip....the actual wheel face is the deal maker/breaker for both styles....concavity is also a plus in my book...

When you're buying an E60 5 Series, you don't actually have the option of choosing 20" wheels though yeh? Like, I know you can separately fit them in, but when you're originally purchasing, BMW dealerships have in their option brochure 19" as the biggest right? Please correct me if I'm wrong~
